POLITICAL KILLINGS.

May 28, 1986

LIMA — POLITICAL KILLINGS. Alberto Kitazono, secretary for the American Popular Revolutionary Party, was leaving his suburban home Monday with three aides when leftist guerrillas opened fire with machine guns and hurled explosives. The aides were killed. But witnesses said Kitazono, unharmed in the assault, snatched a revolver from one of his attackers and held her at gunpoint while the other three guerrillas, dressed in school uniforms, fled on foot. Police confirmed that the captured guerrilla was presumed to be a member of the Maoist Sendero Luminoso. More than 7,000 people have died in Sendero's six- year rebellion.
